Ville> Uh, /mnt/anoncvs/xemacscvs, what's that? I've always used Ville> /pack/xemacscvs and it works for me. See Ville> <http://www.xemacs.org/Develop/cvsaccess.html>;. It's automounter and CVS-does-or-doesn't-check-realpath braindamage. For most operations, /pack/xemacscvs works fine. For rtag, it does not; the user-specified root and the server-computed root mismatch and the operation fatals. Ben needs rtag, so he (apparently) simply switched to /mnt/anoncvs/xemacscvs globally. This makes rtag work (or at least it did last I checked). The automount point may have moved, or some software been upgraded, I don't know. I took a look at patching CVS for this but the code sucks and the "follow the link" strategy workaround seemed to be OK. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
